7. your animals and the wild animals in your land. Everything the land produces will be yours to eat.

8. “Count seven of these years seven times for a total of 49 years.

9. On the tenth day of the seventh month, the special day for the payment for sin, sound rams’ horns throughout the country.

10. Set apart the fiftieth year as holy, and proclaim liberty to everyone living in the land. This is your jubilee year. Every slave will be freed in order to return to his property and to his family.

11. That fiftieth year will be your jubilee year. Don’t plant or harvest what grows by itself or pick grapes from the vines in the land.

12. The jubilee ⌊year⌋ will be holy to you. You will eat what the field itself produces.

13. “In this jubilee year every slave will be freed in order to return to his property.

14. If you sell anything to your neighbor or buy anything from him, don’t take advantage of him.

15. When you buy property from your neighbor, take into account the number of years since the jubilee. Your neighbor must sell it to you taking into account the number of crops ⌊until the next jubilee⌋.
